I Can Fix That
by Juliana Smith
Overall, I thought the story was fun, cute, full of heart, and was done well as a debut novel. I liked the character growth Grant and June went through, and it was sweet to watch them slowly fall for each other. I liked that they both had internal demons to face before they could truly be together, and I appreciated that they were willing to make the hard choices in the end.
June, as a whole, was naive and a little too quirky for me at times, but in general I enjoyed her as a main character. She paired well with Grant and was able to bring out a new side of him. Grant was a good balance of stand-offish and sweet without crossing into a-hole territory. I liked seeing the softer sides of him and finding out what made him tick.
I loved June's connection with her grandmother and how that connection lived on through the home renovation. I thought that was a neat touch that added good depth to the story. June's mother was insufferable and it was interesting watching their relationship progress throughout the story.
Toward the end, the story did get a little rushed in certain spots, but it wasn't anything that really ruined the story. The constant tense changing throughout the book was very jarring and did get annoying very quickly, and there were some formatting issues in the physical book that could have just been a mess up with the printer. Conversations weren't set apart from each other (they all ran together on the same lines), and sentences randomly cut off and picked back up on the next line. But if you can separate yourself from those grammatical issues, I think the story itself is still enjoyable.
